APT is a great gallery space with very high ceilings in the main space, as well as a glass canopy at the front. The curators have made good use of subdued lighting and the resulting semi-darkness of the space to give the works featured a numinous feel and promotes an atmospheric, intimate viewing experience. Several pieces use film and video, so the low lighting works well for these. For those of us showing paintings, the lighting has been slightly offset rather than directed straight onto the work, creating an effect similar to the way works are often lit in Italian churches, which is an association that works very well for me.
